PHASED ARRAY BEAM TRACKING USING BEAM GAIN CODING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for communications and signal beam tracking.SOLUTION: A system for phased array signal beam 104 tracking includes a phased array transmitter 102 configurable for transmitting a signal beam at a selected transmit beam angle from a plurality of different transmit beam angles. The system also includes a beam gain angle coding assembly 111 configured for modulation of a gain of the signal beam to produce a combined gain profile or waveform of the signal beam. The resulting gain profile includes offset angle coding that indicates an offset incident angle 116 of the signal beam at a receiving antenna 118.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
